Description: New and never used but was dropped and has one small ding and one small scratch. Read more below on the excellent safety provided by these helmets!Mips and its round yellow logo have become an icon of cycling helmet safety. This yellow badge of protection signifies that your most critical piece of cycling armor is as effective as it can be. Other than a thin yellow plastic lining, there doesn’t appear to be much different about a Mips helmet. But there is more to Mips than meets the eye. Mips is the brainchild of a Swedish neurosurgeon and a young PhD student determined to reduce traumatic head injuries in cyclists who crashed wearing helmets. Decades later, the technology has been tested around 30,000 times for its effectiveness as a brain protection system in cycling helmets. How a Mips helmet works and whether or not it’s worth wearing are complicated questions, so we’ll explain everything you need to know to decide whether or not you need a helmet with Mips protection.What is a Mips helmet?A helmet with Mips (Multidirectional Impact Protection System), includes an EPS foam layer that absorbs impact and a thin plastic slip-plane liner that reduces strain on the brain resulting from impact. All helmets have an EPS foam layer, but only Mips helmets have a liner that decreases rotational motion and redirects energy that can cause the brain to shear and lead to life-threatening injuries.As the helmet hits a surface, the head glides with the low-friction slip-plane liner 10–15 mm in any direction, independently from the helmet. It’s important for the Mips liner to move in any direction because most impacts from falls or collisions hit the head at an angle rather than straight-on. Impact at an angle (rotational impact) occurs more often in a head injury from a fall or collision than linear impact. But before Mips, helmets were only tested for linear impact.
